getting there! the mix sounds a bit strained now to my ears, possibly the bass is taking up too much room, i would make sure to mono the very low parts of it, probably around 200hz

also im not sure why you change the pattern of the bass notes later on as i kinda lose where the track is going then, just personal preference

that arp sounds really really familiar, just can't place the track!

Regarding bass pattern change, i'm not sure at which one you think. Please give me some timepoint where change starts.

Arp is a Massive preset called Butterfly Stance. I don't know if it has another origin.

Oh man! That Arp! Really REALLY dig that Arp, nice opening of that filter.
0:45 mark when the percussion hits. That floor on the floor sample has a background white noise going with the ride cymbal. It is overtaking the entire track.
Imho if you are going for that style of a track, you should build the percussion to a point where you are getting all that atmosphere. Start with just a kick and let it ride for 8-16 measures, then add a subtle high hat and keep adding and looping elements into it.
The saw wave stab you are using for your Lead is to prominent and although a nice use of the filter cutoffs the dry tone at the beginning really absorbs any atmosphere you have.
My suggestion is to go back in and work with that Arp..it is very dynamic. I'm willing to say if you treat that ala Eric Prydz and just put a really solid percussion track behind it that it would power itself.

Hey, thank you for listening and for comments! Will try to play more with just the arp.
